Crime Sites. Tour to the Sites of Forced Sterilization and "Euthanasia" in Berlin

The half-day bus tour in the company of expert guides begins at the
Jewish Museum and goes to sites of forced sterilization and
"euthanasia" in Berlin: To Tiergartenstraße 4, the central office
responsible for the mass murder, to the former Hereditary Health Court
in Charlottenburg, to the Jewish Hospital, whose neurological ward
provided the final collection point for Jewish psychiatric patients
before their deportation, and to the former Wittenau Sanatorium. There
the exhibition entitled "Totgeschwiegen" narrates the history of the
psychiatric clinic. The tour's final stop is in Dahlem, one of the
leading scientific locations before and during the Nazi era, where the
Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Genetics, and Eugenics
could be found.
